$ 420.00

This is everything your Lean Facilitator needs to teach an effective A3 Problem Solving class for your associates. The session is designed for 4.5 hours of classroom time learning the problem solving tools and how to use the A3 template, followed by the 3.5 hour team-based simulation.

Problem Solving tools include:

Root Cause Analysis
Process Flow Charting
Value Stream Mapping
Pareto Chart
Fishbone Diagram
Histogram
Scatter Diagram
Control Charts & Process Capability
Error Proofing

This simulation kit provides an opportunity for the participants to actually use the 8 steps of the A3 Process and fill out the included A3 form. The kit is designed for up to three teams (six associates per team). The simulation gives the team a chance to demonstrate their A3 Problem Solving knowledge in a simulated, yet "business-like" environment, and confirms their understanding of these techniques through the use of team "report-out" activities. The A3 steps are:

1. Identify the Problem or Need
2. Understanding the Current Situation/State
3. Goal Statement--Develop the Target State
4. Root Cause Analysis
5. Brainstorm/Determine Countermeasures
6. Countermeasures Implementation Plan
7. Check Results--Confirmation of Effect
8. Update Standard Work

Kit Includes:

112 PowerPoint slides on a site license CD
A3 Problem Solving simulation using our standard wood trucks
A3 template--blank and on CD
A3 template--filled in per the steps in the PowerPoint slides and on CD
18 laminated problem situation and statement forms
Implementing World Class Manufacturing book as a reference for the problem solving Tools
Set of Poker Chips for a problem solving exercise
